I'm trying to install libcairo2-dev package on ubuntu 12.04. The error message is as follows:

requires: libcairo2 (= 1.10.2-6.1ubuntu2) but 1.10.2-6.1ubuntu3 is about to be installed                 
requires: libcairo-gobject2 (= 1.10.2-6.1ubuntu2) but 1.10.2-6.1ubuntu3 is about to be installed
                 requires: libglib2.0-dev but it won't be installed

Don't really know what to do next, tried googling but with no luck :(

Did you run sudo apt-get update first? – Michael Hampton Oct 15 '12 at 17:28
yes, I did. as an act of desperation I've even run sudo apt-get upgrade ;) – Adrian Serafin Oct 15 '12 at 17:44
You may have a dependency that prohibits installing the requisite version of glib (2.0) -- just a guess though. – voretaq7 Oct 19 '12 at 22:21
